How can I capture the url of a popup window launched from a non browser based application?

I am automating an application in which the user opens a browser from a non-web based application. The browser is launched by the user when they either click a button or press hotkeys the workflow I have ends there but the test is carried on in separate workflows using this newly opened browser window.

My question essentially is: How can I capture a web browser’s url that is uniquely generated each time if its launched from a non web based application my workflow knows nothing about?

You don’t have to use the URL to attach to that window. You can use other properties or even just a partial URL. Say the URL is http://someserver.com/viewrecord.apsx?recordid=abcd1234

…where abcd1234 can change…just replace abcd1234 with * so the selector would be…

url='http://someserver.com/viewrecord.apsx?recordid=*'
